Denver Nuggets: The Aaron Gordon trade

Aaron Gordon has been an integral piece to this Nuggets team since he was traded from the Orlando Magic to Denver. The trade occurred on 26 Mar. 2021, with the Nuggets receiving Aaron Gordon for Gary Harris and RJ Hampton.

While Hampton and Harris are solid contributors to the Orlando Magic now, the trade for Gordon helped fill a key forward position for the team. Gordon provided some scoring, defensive work and playmaking from the forward spot, making him a great partner for superstar big man Nikola Jokic.

Gordon has already agreed to an extension with the team, meaning that he will be sticking around for at least the next four years. Hopefully, he is able to help bring the Nuggets towards championship glory.
